    Joystick not working on Blitz - FIXED

    Hi all, Cannot get my joystick to pickup at all. Sidewinder Precision 2 and when I goto setup on the game I select Aircraft then axis and open the hotkeys option up but nothing...same for xbox controller. Joystick works on FSX and shows in the big picture on steam. Hope someone can help. I can change the keys no problem just don't seem to like the joystick.

    Google is my friend ha. Turning off "Generic GamePad Configuration Support" in Controller settings solved the issue for me.

    Hy. I also have a problem with my Hotas. Buttons are working fine but the throttle and the stick are not operative. Difficult to fly without ailerons,
    rudder and gas! My hotas is a SAITEK X 52 Pro. Thanks in advance.
    48 hours later: now the throttle works with German planes. But still no effect on British planes. As I wrote a couple of days ago, apparently it is working (looking at the window regarding engine(low,left on the screen), but no real effect on the RPM. Aniy advice, please?

    Lucky you. With me it did not work(Saitek X 52 Pro). All buttons and switches (except those "retired for age") are working. Not so far the Stick: out of the three axes I can use only one. Or the elevators, or the rudder or the ailerons. Troubles also with the throttle with british planes. Apparently working on the instrument window(low, left on the screen), but n effect on the engine . Also the RPM gauge does not move.

    Re: Joystick not working on Blitz - FIXED

    Hi.
    I also am not getting my Hotas Thrustmaster to be recognised by Blitz.
    To ensure it was not a Steam problem started Cliffs of Dover...went to options...controller...aircraft...and the axes showed the correct inputs...
    So not steam Issue.
    And controller being recognised.
    Then relaunched Blitz. And on the controller page...inputs of axes not being defected.

    Lost as to what to do next...please advise!

    And thankyou!

    Re: Joystick not working on Blitz - FIXED

    Since Blitz, my MFF does not work at all. Not even as a controller. It was fine with Cliffs of Dover. It works no problem with il2 1946.

    I'm wondering if this is because of how old the MFF is? Perhaps I should move on to something more recent?

    As an aside, I bought Blitz as my Steam account wouldn't let me log in and I had to create another account.

    From what I've seen so far, Blitz has taken CoD to another level. Well done to all involved!

    Which version of the MFF are you using? The old one with the gameport or the newer one with the USB connection?

    I have the 2nd generation with the USB connect and it is working fine for me.

    10 days latercontinuation!!!). Miracles do happen, now and then. I kept insisting in programming and reprogramming (through "options" in game) my bloody Hotas, just to waste some time, and and one day , as in the children stories, the stick and the throttle WORKED!!!
    Happy New Year!

    Logitech owns Saitek now. Try this link:

    http://support.logitech.com/en_us/pr...ller/downloads

    Go to the middle of the page for the new, Logitech drivers. This corrected errors on my X-52 and claims that it works for the X-52 PRO as well.

    All problems solved. Just insisting, insisting and insisting in programming through "options". Do not ask me how.

    Where exactly is this setting? In CLOD, in Windows? A few more details would be helpful.

    Hi all,

    Great times in Cliffs of Dover, same everything in Blitz and joystick would freeze the program. Blitz upgrade, keeps bombing out and can't even get into the software. Followed direction, unchecked everything listed, erased suggested files, uninstalled, reinstalled....no joy.

    If I enter the game with the icon and not through Steam, I can at least start, but then it crashes out. Also, joystick use crashes out.

    CloD still doesn't recognize my Saitek 52 Pro hotas. I have tried every trick in the book but no joy!! So I guess after seven years I have to say goodbye to Cliffs of Dover and TFS has to say goodbye to my money in the future. All the best, lads!!

    Gotta be either your stick or your pc... Or your game installation. Lots of 52's out there without issues.

    If its just in cliffs perhaps a new install ? And make sure that anthropromorphic controls is off!

    Anyhoo.... If you go off to other things enjoy.... Cos enjoy is the only important part.

    Thanks, Highseas! I have enjoyed wwii flightsims (or actually games, DCS being the only sim) since 1991 so I am sure that I keep enjoying many games, because all other games recognize my hotas. But I would like to play CloD because of the great graphics. I guess one can't get everything one wants!! Cheers!!

    Hello everyone,

    again a problem that is plagueing a friend of mine: After every restart the joystick settings (buttons and axes) do not work anymore and have to be set up again.

    I would imagine that it has to do with a changing joystick-id that cliffs is not happy with. But I would not know why this should happen - his Saitek X52 is directly connected to a USB-port (no hub), he has the problem on Windows 7 and 10 64bit.

    Regards

    I fixed this by never unpowering my PC. It is always plugged in and now the USB assignments do not change like they occasionally used to. I use an uninterruptible power supply to prevent problems when the municipal power fails.
